Bolton boss makes 'required level' admission as Liverpool loanee Owen Beck left waiting

Bolton manager Ian Evatt has admitted that Owen Beck is not physically ready for first team football yet - but added it won’t be long until his fans can see the Liverpool loanee in action.

Beck joined Conor Bradley at the League One outfit on a season-long loan on deadline day - he had originally joined Prima Liga side Famalicao earlier in the summer, but had his temporary contract with them terminated after just 46 days. The 20-year-old made two substitute appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s side last season and hasn’t played first-team football since December.

Without competitive senior minutes under his belt, Wanderers boss Evatt admitted the young left-back is ‘not at the required level’ to feature for his side, but added that a special training programme will get the Reds loanee up to speed.
